We sourced the grapes for this 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon from our estate vineyards in the
Santa Ynez Valley. A generous vintage, this wine has intense and rich aromas of blackberry,
cassis, and roasted coffee. The palate delivers on flavor, with black cherry, nutmeg,
vanilla and all spice at the forefront. The texture is creamy, round and defined by the
richness and weight of the tannins.

2014 produced fruit of high quality and quantity. An earlier that average bud break began
in the last week of February, and a warm spring led to an early bloom and fruit set. Few
incidents of frost and a warmer than average summer allowed the grapes to ripen at an
optimal pace. We harvested the fruit on September 12th through October 18th, 2014.

Vineyard Notes

The Santa Ynez Valley is located just two hours north of Los Angeles and five hours south
of San Francisco, adjacent the cold Pacific Ocean. With the greatest concentration of
wineries in Santa Barbara County - roughly 18% of its total land planted to vineyards - it is
among the favorite weekend destinations for wine aficionados in the Central Coast region.
